Customizing the swipe-actions by editing the file ~/.config/mcompositor/new-mcompositor.conf doesn't seem to work anymore, which is weird because other swipe-related settings like released-swipe-duration still work in the same file. I briefly looked at the sources but didn't find anything suspicious, also the extension implementing the swipe actions, libnokiaswipeextension.so still contains the relevant strings, i.e. swipe-action-up etc. Did Nokia make the actions hardcoded? Anyone got any ideas?

Dang, I really need my swipe up to close

Really? Doesn't work for me, in fact the version 0.0.2 in the store never worked in PR1.1 either. What's the version you've got? What variant is your phone?

Sorry. I guess 0.0.3 didn't make it to the store. Here's the original link:

Remember to uninstall the store version before you install.

0.0.3 is the one I had all along and it doesn't work. Not after re-installing, rebooting, either. Can you confirm that you are able to set the swipe-up action to close and it works? Maybe my software is hosed or something, anyone else tried swipemanager with PR1.2?

Also, can you run

Code:
dpkg -l mcompositor*
in the terminal and report the versions of the two packages? Thanks!

You're right, the close part doesn't work. I've never tried assigning "close" to anything else but swipe down. Everything else about it works. Sorry

Damn. Looks like they probably hardcoded some limitations. Need to file a bug and hope for the best, I guess. I can't think of any reason for them to disable the option to swipe up to close, and it's sooo much easier with one hand than swipe down.

In fact I'm kind of pissed off right now, if it's not possible to change the behavior, because even with my big hands swipe down is very inconvenient unless you kind of hold the upper part of the phone in your hand. Same goes for the browser back button, it should be at the bottom of the screen, currently I can't press it with one hand without slightly shuffling the phone in my hand.
